Rolling with allowance for frequency response

An operating method for a rolling mill, comprising:

• feeding, by a feeding device arranged upstream of a rolling stand of the rolling mill, a metal strip to the rolling stand;
• rolling, by the rolling stand, the metal strip;
• removing, by a removing device arranged downstream of the rolling stand, the metal strip;
• determining cyclically, by a control device of the rolling mill, in each case based on a number of final thickness deviations of a corresponding number of portions of the metal strip from a setpoint thickness of the metal strip on an exit side in each case a number of setpoint values for a corresponding number of final control elements;
• and
• outputting, by the control device, the determined setpoint values to the final control elements;
• wherein the final control elements comprise at least one of:
• the feeding device,
• an adjusting device of the rolling stand for setting a rolling gap of the rolling stand,
• a drive of the rolling stand for driving rolls of the rolling stand, and
• the removing device,
• wherein the setpoint value for the feeding device is one of a setpoint speed and a setpoint torque, the setpoint value for the adjusting device is a setpoint rolling-gap value, the setpoint value for the drive is one of a roll circumferential speed and a rolling torque, and the setpoint value for the removing device is one of a setpoint speed and a setpoint torque;
• and
• wherein the control device determines at least one of the setpoint values based on the number of final thickness deviations with allowance for a description of the inverse frequency response of the respective final control element.
